Terme Romane di Santa Maria
Discover the remains of Roman baths beneath a rural church in Vallermosa, a fascinating testimony to Sardinian history.
The Terme Romane di Santa Maria in Vallermosa are an archaeological testament to Roman presence in Sardinia. Originally part of a larger villa, these ancient bath facilities were constructed in the 2nd century AD and exhibit the typical structures of Roman baths, used for bathing, exercise, and social interaction.
Particularly interesting is the connection to a later rural church, built directly upon the remains of the Roman baths. This superimposition of different historical eras makes the site a special testament to the continuous occupation and use of ancient places over centuries.
